Little Bay de Noc-June 26th, 2010

[Capt. Ken]

Well, today was day three fishing with Denny Gustafson, Jim Lewinski Sr. and Jim Jr. What a great group of fellas to have as clients and friends. We hit the water around 7 a.m. this morning and had our 15 fish limit in the box around 10:30 a.m., and we had some very nice fish today. We made a very short last pass and landed three more keepers for me to take home and called it a day. We also released plenty of undersized fish that will probably be keeper size in just a few short weeks. After I got done cleaning fish the guys treated me to an awesome lunch at Jack’s restaurant…it doesn’t get much better than that! I’m already looking forward to their next planned trip in August, hopefully we can put them on fish again like the last three days. It’s been a really incredible bite the last few days, with some really nice fish. Today we had several in the 19 to 23 inch range. All of our fish were caught today trolling Walleyes Choice (http://www.walleyeschoice.com) harnesses behind bottom bouncers. There was really no color that out-fished another…I don’t think it mattered today. The neat thing to see was the stomachs of the fish while cleaning them. Many of the fish today were stuffed with alewives and several of them had gobies in their bellies. It just shows you that when the conditions are right…the fish gorge themselves. In addition to some on the water pictures, I took a picture of one of the stomachs to illustrate just how these fish feed when the conditions are right. With a belly full of alewives that were about 6 inches long…it still went after our offering. Kind of like us after eating a big meal…we still have just enough room for a piece of pie or a bowl of ice-cream. Good luck from all of us in the Bay de Noc area.
